I almost didn't respond because you two have gotten down to name calling
instead of trying to discuss things reasonably, but I thought I would throw
my $.02 in anyway:

Yes compared to 3.2, 4.0 is huge and buggy (I'm not convinced it is slow).
However, when SCO decided to release 3.2, IT was huge and buggy when
compared to Xenix, so that reason does not seem to be a show stopper for them.
They must have some other reasons like, "it took X $$ to get 3.2 up and
running and stable, so we need to stay with 3.2 long enough to make a
profit off that $$", or "we came close to loosing alot of customers over
that 'dropping Xenix' stuff and we can't do the same thing again, but we
don't want to support 3 different OS products"
